Do you recall the "Foucault's Pendulum" text that appeared here some time back? Very complex. Here's the English/Kash-- http://cinduworld.tripod.com/foucault.pdf Originally in French I think; not sure if Carsten gave that. Another, more narrative, from June 2002, offered up by John Cowan: http://cinduworld.tripod.com/texts.htm with slight adaptations for the Kash version; the Archive should have the original version.
